The Ulster Rugby match against Zebre has been postponed due to the weather.

Officials made a call after 6pm to say the pitch was unplayable due to parts being frozen.

In a statement, Ulster Rugby said: "This evening's Guinness PRO12 fixture between Ulster and Zebre has been postponed after a late decision by the referee. The surface was deemed unplayable due to certain areas of the pitch being frozen.

"Ulster Rugby will work with PRO12 Rugby and Zebre Rugby to reschedule the fixture and a new date will be announced in due course.

"Supporters should retain their tickets as they will be valid for the rearranged game."

A PSNI spokesman said: "Police have been made aware that the rugby match at the Kingspan Stadium which was due to be played this evening has been postponed due to conditions on the pitch."
